“Nobody can say what is there that the Sun Planet is diffusing unlimited Temperature and Heat for millions and trillions of Years”

Prabhupada, New York, January 1, 1967: ..Jyotiscakra-pramane. Jyotiscakra means orbit of the planets. The, a planet is moving in its orbit continually. Similarly, Krishna-lila is also just like an orbit. He’s giving very nice example: orbit of the earth, orbit of the moon, orbit of the sun. The sun is also not fixed up. According to Vedic astronomy, the sun is also moving. We have got information from Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Vedic literatures, Brahma-samhita.

In the Brahma-samhita it is stated that yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam. The sun is considered to be the eyes of the Supreme Lord, and the sun is the king of all other planets. Yac-caksur esa savita. Savita means the sun. Yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam raja samasta-sura-murtir asesa tejah. Sura- murtih. Every planet is dominated by a particular demigod. There is a, a principal living entity who is differently named.

Just like this moon planet is called Candraloka because the predominating deity there is called Candra; the sun planet is called Suryaloka because the predominating deity is called Surya. Surya, Candra—these are official names, just like “governor.” But the particular name is also there. Governor is a particular person. Just like “president.” President is a general name, but he has got his particular personal name.

Similarly, all these predominating deities of Candraloka and Suryaloka, they are, these are official names. Anybody who’s predominating over the sun planet, he’s called Surya, but he has got his personal name. That name is Vivasvan. That is described in the Bhagavad-gita. Imam vivasvate yogam proktavan aham avyayam [Bg. 4.1]. Who is that Vivasvan? Vivasvan is the present predominating deity in the sun planet.

This sun planet, according to your modern science, it is fixed. But we cannot understand why sun should be fixed. Every planet has its orbit. So sun must be moving in the orbit. That is described in the Brahma-samhita: yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam raja. He’s the king of all planets—raja samasta-sura-murtir asesa tejah. Asesa tejah means inexhaustible temperature. The sun planet has got inexhaustible heat and temperature.

That we can experience. Nobody can say what is there that the sun planet is diffusing unlimited temperature and heat for millions and trillions of years, still, it is not exhausted. So this is called asesa. Asesa. There is no end. Just like we are in the fire. Unless we put some fuel, fuel, it is not possible to continue the temperature. But there, the supply is so, so sufficient that there is no end of temperature. Every planet is self-sufficient. That is described in the Isopanisad. Isavasyam idam sarvam yat kincit jagatyam jagat… No. Purnam idam, purnam adah, purnam purnat udacyate purnasya purnam adaya purnam eva avasisyate [Isopanisad, Invocation]. The Supreme Lord is purna. Purna means complete. And whatever He creates, that is also complete. The actions and reactions of sun planet to diffuse heat all over the universe is complete. By Lord’s grace, by Lord’s creative power, energy. That is also inferior energy. This is not superior energy. This is inferior energy. So still it is complete.
